Built with Microsoft Technology
eProphet.NET is a suite of applications developed and designed with Microsoft® software to industry standards. Utilising Visual Basic™, ASP™ and .NET™ Framework technologies, the Microsoft® development environment contains a huge toolkit of advanced components. We have utilised this toolkit to equip eProphet.NET with a powerful array of easy to use facilities.  eProphet.NET will operate in both 32BIT and 64BIT applications.

eProphet.NET is not 'just another Windows™ program' - adherence to strict Windows™ development guidelines ensures that the eProphet.NET backoffice system has a long, productive life span, which in turn represents a low risk, long term, quality software investment for your business.

Context Sensitive Help
eProphet.NET has a fully integrated Windows™ help system which can be accessed from anywhere within the program. The help system provides program assistance to everyday usage and is an excellent quick 'refresher' utility for store managers.

Help system activation is easy and area context sensitive - meaning that the help information that is displayed first to you is the most relevant to where you are in the program at that moment. Each help document also contains links to other relevant documents and related 'How To' instructional documents.

User Ordered Data Listing
eProphet.NET provides advanced data listing facilities and control. Data lists on screen can be ordered by a particular column to help you locate critical information quickly and precisely. Single items in a list can be found instantly by using our new character-sensitive access mode.

Streamlined Entry Processes
eProphet.NET automatically downloads 95% of operational data through electronic connections with your POS, timeclock and the internet. User data entry is primarily required as a data confirmation and validate step. To streamline these daily data entry operations, eProphet.NET incorporates sophisticated user-centred data entry processes. Data is entered in a logical order to the user (not the computer), which means managers spend less time behind the computer and more time on the floor running the store.

POS Communications
eProphet.NET supports comprehensive data transfer from common computerised register systems such as PAR, Panasonic and NewPos. The system extracts product usage figures and sales data periodically from the registers and processes that data into logical formats for analysis and storage.

Timeclock Communications
eProphet.NET is fully equipped to download labour clockings from a digital timeclock (as opposed to keyboard entry). Although the Abcom LabourGuard timeclock is recommended for this task, eProphet.NET may also download clockings from other timeclocks where such an interface is available and feasible.

Web Communications
eProphet.NET is fully Web Enabled and is capable of downloading information and data via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Internet. This special type of connection is used in a number of ways throughout the eProphet.NET system:

• Your eProphet.NET backoffice system is updated remotely over that internet connection the moment upgrades are released. That means your system is always running at peak performance with all the latest facilities.
• eProphet.NET has the ability to electronically "receive" invoices from suppliers via the internet and then load the data straight into your Inventory System. Once you review, alter/approve the invoice it is then posted into your accounting system. That means no more entry and re-entry of multi-page invoices - that will not only save you a significant amount of time and money, it will also make your Inventory system more accurate and relevant - eg. avoiding ordering errors.
• Integration with eProphet.NET Online - to include planned functionality such as the posting of employee scheduling online.
• Integration with eProphet.NET Central File Maintenance (CFM) - to automate the entry of new inventory items into your inventory system.

System Security
eProphet.NET operates within a user/password secure environment. This ensures that only authorised users may access the system. Furthermore, user codes are attached to system changes and actions so that accountability can be determined if problems should arise.

Business Reporting
eProphet.NET generates comprehensive, uniform reports at the click of a mouse. In addition to standard daily reports printed to provide a paper trail of day-to-day operations, users can print a myriad of succinct analysis reports to aid in-store decision making processes. A sample range of eProphet.NET reports is listed below.

All reports can be printed to any Windows compatible printer. Furthermore, to save on paper costs, if you simply wish to view a report out of interest - you can do so on the monitor before electing to print. All reports are time/date stamped to permit easy file keeping.
